5.0 out of 5 stars It doesn't get much better!, October 20, 2000

By	"worldblong" (Merritt Island, Florida United States) - See all my reviews

This is an excellent book which covers its subject more thoroughly and beautifully than any book I have ever seen about this part of the country. It is extremely well written, and the photography is outstanding. Anyone who is interested in the preservation of our enviroment, especially our valuable waterways, should read this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars The "Hooch", October 17, 2000

By	Florrie J. Barnes (Franklin, Georgia United States) - See all my reviews

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I live in Franklin, a small town on the Chattahoochee. This river is a big part of our local history and it is nice to see it get some worthwhile attention.

5.0 out of 5 stars River Song: A Journey down the Chattahoochee and Apalachicola River, February 8, 2007

By	R. Foster - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I saw the book over at a friend's house and started looking thru it...limited on time and cound not read much. The pictures are the first thing that caught my attention; so much nature and serenity. I couldn't help but come home and order the book thru amazon and have not been disappointed. It sits in my living room where I can pick it up and look thru it on a regular basis. The stories of their travels make you feel you are there with them. Would highly recommend this book to anyone who is into nature, the river or just down to earth living.
